About: Hi, I’m Emily. I grew up with all kinds of pets and have always had animals in my life, so taking care of them just comes naturally to me. I’m starting school for radiology in September, so my schedule is pretty open right now and I’d love to help however I can. I’ve taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m reliable, patient, and careful to follow any instructions exactly as given. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities—whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra care. I’m also respectful of your space and always aim to leave your home just as I found it. Communication is important to me, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel at ease while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule right now with full availability during the week and weekends, which allows me to focus on providing reliable pet care. Once I begin school this fall, I’ll continue to offer care on evenings and weekends. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or some one-on-one attention, I’m happy to help when you need it. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m a pet owner myself and have animals at home, so I truly understand how much they mean to you. I always make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I follow instructions carefully, stick to routines, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also respectful of your home and aim to make the whole process as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.

“Amanda did an awesome job. We had a last minute booking and she even went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day of the booking. The updates were great and she even spent some extra time playing with our dogs. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Amanda!”


“I scheduled last minute, and it was my first time hiring her. She responded very quickly and was available to come meet Coco and me next day. The day she came and took care of my dog at our home, she sent me pictures of Coco and provided updates, which I really appreciated. She was professional, kind, and great with Coco. I highly recommend her!”


About: Hi! I’m Kendal—an energetic, dog-loving sitter and future veterinarian with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether I’m walking high-energy dogs, comforting anxious rescues, or supporting senior pups with extra TLC, I always bring patience, empathy, and a vet-bound level of attentiveness. I’ve worked with animals through vet clinics, rescue organizations, and educational programs like Project Terrapin, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior and health. I adapt to your dog’s needs—whether that means fetch in the yard, calm companionship, or help with routine care. Every dog has their own personality, and I’m here to meet them right where they are—with enthusiasm, respect, and a whole lot of love. I am able to provide consistent, high-quality pet care each morning before 9am and every evening after 4pm Monday through Friday. I am available anytime on weekends. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible. This includes timely feeding, walks (whether that be in their backyard, neighborhood, or taking them to a park), playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love! I keep your home clean and your pet happy, providing regular updates so you can travel with peace of mind. During overnight stays, I ensure your pet receives care in the evening, overnight, and morning, with a walk or check-in before I leave for my classes and attentive care once I return. For walks and drop-ins, I tailor the visit to your pet’s needs—whether that means an energizing walk or run, quiet company, or extra attention for nervous or senior pets. I make sure they have clean food and water, a potty break, and interaction that matches their personality and preferences. With a strong foundation in pre-veterinary studies and years of hands-on animal care experience, I offer thoughtful, dependable care for every pet I meet.

“Heather is the most loving, bubbly person ❤️ She abd her husband Ed instantly fell in love with my babies. I was sent pictures everyday, any issues outside the norm she addressed promptly. When I returned home, my house was exactly how I had left it ! My dogs were sleeping when I entered the door, which tells me they had everything they needed while I was gone. Thank You so much 💓”


About: Hi! My name is Jessica and I would love to take care of your pet while you’re away. I have unofficially been a pet sitter for several years. I have been fortunate to have friends and coworkers ask me to help with their pets and since then word of mouth has given me the chance to pet sit a lot more, which I love! I have always loved animals and have had the chance to watch and help out with many dogs, cats, chickens, lizards, and even a couple horses. I have two cats who are my world and I intend to make your pet as much of a priority my own. If you were to hire me I would make sure your pet(s) have a schedule as close to normal as possible. I have no issues staying over with your dog or cat. My favorite thing to do while I dog sit is take them for walks, so that is not an issue at all and I will always make sure your dog is well secured and watched throughout any time outside. I am typically busy Monday - Friday from 7:30 AM - 5 PM which is why I said that I can’t be available full time during weekdays, but I am free all day during weekends. I have no issues with staying over or popping in several times a day if that is what you prefer. Safety for your pet is my #1 goal, but I also am there to spend time with them, play, and take them for walks. I know leaving your pet is stressful for you and them, so I always try to distract them and make sure they get lots of love and attention. I also am more than happy to provide a lot of pictures and updates to ease your mind as well! Unfortunately, my apartment building does not allow pets, not even to visit, so I have no opportunity to board your pet.

“Gabriella dropped in to look after our 2 cats for us. She was very professional and even agreed to extend the booking by two days. I would definitely book with her again.”


About: I have had pets in my home for as long as I can remember, and throughout my time in my childhood home I cared for 6 cats and 3 dogs. I have working experience caring for reptiles, birds, and fish, and currently own two cute kitties and two wonderful dogs I am currently between full-time positions and have plenty of time to care for your animals. Whether it is cats, dogs, or something a little more exotic, I am free weekdays and weekends to make sure your fur (or not!) family gets the care they deserve. While I am with your animals, I provide the utmost care and attention to them while giving them engaging play or cuddles as they need. I send update texts during each visit and lock up tight when I leave so the kiddos are safe and secure.

About: I live in Waterville and would love to watch your fur babies. I have had a dog my whole life mostly labs but I really enjoy dogs and watching their interactions with humans and with other pets.

“Emily exceeded our expectations! She was incredibly kind and attentive, and our energetic red-nosed pitbull took to her instantly. During our week away, we felt completely at ease knowing she was there. Our dog typically struggles with separation, so having someone stay overnight made all the difference in his comfort. Emily even took the time to meet him beforehand, which reassured us that she would be a perfect match. It was clear our dog adored her!”
